- Job to be done
- When iDEAL is being phased out in favor of Wero, a Dutch or EU Shopify merchant needs to check which checkout integrations are custom or unmanaged and make sure Wero is offered, so European customers can still pay without lost sales.

Owners and users describing the problem in their own words: Reddit, low-star reviews, App Store, Ask HN.
iDEAL, used for about 73% of Dutch online purchases, is being phased out and replaced by Wero; sellers with custom integrations may need to act, and the full decommission is set for end of 2027, so checkouts must be checked before then.

Shopify hides and shows payment methods dynamically, so Wero is not always offered even though European customers increasingly use it and it has lower fees.
